Book Synopsis

Arm-rings are among the most common items of jewellery. From the earliest times, they have appeared in various shapes and materials. The wearing of leg-rings was limited to the Bronze and Iron Ages. Together with spiral rings and mountings, arm- and leg-rings form an essential aspect of our archaeological legacy. They not only decorated the body but also accumulated value. This volume offers a comprehensive, systematic guide to the object groups. Typical forms are presented, described, and illustrated in a study of jewellery in German-speaking countries from the Palaeolithic era to the Middle Ages. This reference work is aimed at any interested reader but also provides a practical tool for recording and indexing museum and archaeological collections.

  • First comprehensive systematics of pre- and early historical arm and leg ornaments
  • Suitable for academics as well as interested amateurs
